I just returned home to the 'States. Thanks to all here. We purchased 7 Pound 90 tickets for the Thameslink train into Blackfriars just as suggested. Without your help I probably would have fallen foul of the "helpers" and spent considerably more money. I also warned the young lady sitting...

That's beautiful. If I had a mobile that worked in the UK I'd do it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the information. Especially the "helpers" at Gatwick Airport Station. We won't be in any rush so I won't mind waiting in line at the ticket window.

We'll be arriving on Saturday the 27th and leaving on Wednesday the 1st. We'll run around and see some of the normal tourist things. I've been to London a few times over the past 25 years, but most of my trips to the UK are up towards Newcastle where I have friends. It will be my 18 y/o...

Thanks again to everyone for taking your time to help me. I think I will go to West Brompton via Clapham Junction. It will be nice to see the huge intersection of tracks at Clapham Junction again, and also not feel like all of the other tourists heading to Victoria. I checked google maps...

Thanks. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Would I need an Oyster Card for the Clapham Junction to West Brompton train or would the ticket I bought at Gatwick suffice?

Thanks everyone for the great information. My nephew will think old Uncle ACL is a real Londoner with this kind of knowledge. One last question. I was looking at a tube map on-line https://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/large-print-tube-map.pdf and I noticed that zone for...

Thanks for the advice on London Blackfriars. It's on the District Tube Line, ( as is London Victoria) which I would use to get to Earls Court. Is the 7.90 Pounds an advance fare, or can I buy a ticket for that price before I catch the train?

On June 27th I will be flying into London Gatwick airport. I haven't flown into Gatwick in many moons. I want to take the train into London where we will be staying. I fly into Heathrow occasionally and take either the Heathrow Connect or the Tube into London. I never want to pay the higher...

Many thanks.

Greetings, In May I am going to be hiking the first half of the Camino de Santiago across the north of Spain. My plan is to arrive in Sahagun, Spain and on the 20th of May, take the train down to Barcelona. There is a very convenient train that leaves Sahagun at 11:10 AM on the 20th (ALVIA...

Thanks for the info on Inchcolm. My friends have their heart set on Holy Island, but there is a strong possibility that I may be in Edinburgh this fall with other friends and Inchcolm may be a good outing for them. Greatly appreciated.

Thank you. That is very helpful.

I have friends who will be on a package tour of Britain in a few weeks and I am helping them plan a outing for a free day they have in Edinburgh. They want to go down to Holy Island (Berwick Upon Tweed) and possibly Durham (and return). I have all the train options and information for them...

Thanks everyone for the great advice and information. It is greatly appreciated. One more question. They are both over 60. Do they get any reductions, or do they need to purchase the 30 Pound Senior Discount Cards for that? Thanks again.

Greetings from the US. I have two friends who are going on a guided tour of the UK (England and Scotland specifically). They will be spending three nights and two days in Edinburgh and are interested on their free day, to travel to Holy Island (Lindesfarne) and Durham. (The parish we attend...

Thanks. I have a reservation at a hotel across the street from the station in Bayonne. I'm very excited to be taking this journey. I love trains.

Double Post.

Just one last question. If I miss my connection in Bordeaux, it is the last train to Bayonne that evening. Do you think they will throw me out of the station if I bed down on a bench and wait for the first train the next morning?
